I have many of his books - Yann Arthus-Bertrand is undoubtedly a master photographer in the air. The composition, tonality and overall ambience of his work is to put it quite simply - stunning!
To quote...
"In 200,000 years on Earth, humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high, but it's too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth's riches and change its patterns of consumption.
More than a movie, HOME will be a major event all over the globe : for the first time ever, a film will be released on the same day in over 50 countries and on every format : movie theatres, TV, DVD and Internet.
On June 5th we all have a date with the planet !"

The film itself is available on YouTube in it's entirety - In HD too. This is simply the trailer.
Go and have a good look. Whatever your views on the subject matter, the cinematography alone makes it worth a 'must' watch...
